we feel this integrated view of one operation is also an importantexperience for our students. In addition, the integration of the various plant visits and industryguests in our classroom activities meets the objective on integrating real world, experientialactivities into the student’s education. This is a part of the vision for our University, and webelieve it greatly facilitates a very graceful and successful transition of our students from theeducational program into mainstream industrial companies. We invite feedback and suggestionsfrom the reader, and are happy to engage in benchmarking activities with other institutions.Bibliography 1. Boothroyd, G., Dewhurst, P., & Knight, W.

than 10% of instructional time is spent teaching science in the early grades and evenless addressing engineering [3, 4]. One explanation may be that there is significant emphasis onlanguage and literacy skills in these early years and there are limited engineering-related textswritten for this age group. The impact that engineering literature may have on engineeringlearning is therefore not well studied. Two very informative reports on this topic are: (1) theEngineering is Elementary report detailing assessing elementary students‟ understanding ofengineering and technology concepts [5] and Taylor and Smith‟s recent examination of writingassessments geared toward elementary level children [6].

In each case where engineering was added to a lesson or unit, it sprang to life,allowing for more critical engagement and inquiry as well as the influx of new content—andactivities to explore that content. Engineering made Montessori even more hands-on, moreinteractive, more dynamic and engaging to students.

AsDavis points out1 there is a need to relate analysis skills to the real world. Other authorshave done this by incorporating design into the circuits lab2, 3, 4 or by integratingcomputer tools into the lab5, 6. An additional strategy is to challenge the students with acircuit identification task, one where they have to design test procedures and from theresults synthesize the unknown circuit. Most lab experiences consist of opportunities tobuild circuits from homework problems

Six of theeleven outcomes address the professional skills including:10• an ability to function on multi-disciplinary teams• an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility• an ability to communicate effectively• the broad education necessary to understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global, economic, environmental and

course summaries arean important communication tool to assist faculty in their development.Faculty ImpactThe typical assessment methods, such as quizzes and tests, more commonly measure lower levelcognitive activities; consequently, a common pitfall to implementing a structured assessmentsystem is the reduction of the curriculum to the “lowest common denominator” in the level ofstudent learning. Perhaps the most dramatic change with our ABET approach is to counteractthis effect. There has been demonstration of the simultaneous engagement of faculty to directstudent learning towards higher cognitive processes and metacognition. For example, in hiscourse summary, one instructor wrote: “Assessment strategies for 2006 continue to refine the
